Woop Woop!
Podcassette Nummer drei von @tobeonpod ist eingetroffen! Mehr Retro, als einen Podcast auf MC zu hören, geht nicht 😁

Sind übrigens noch ein paar zu haben - habe ich gehört.

Does your tape player play audio too fast or too slow? It can be the belt needing a replacement but most players will have a potentiometer on their electronics board that can be used to adjust the speed of the motor. Like i did here on this video

I just got these two beautiful tape players imported from Japanese flea market  Both need belt replacements of course, however i begin to understand why panasonic players turned out to be the sturdiest. The designs are very compact and straightforward.

Pictured inside is the rq-sx55 model, after receiving new belts. These were not perfect fit but at least i confirmed that it does still play audio!

Okay this is rather embarrassing interior i must say. I was having issues with it the moment i bought it and decided to have a look inside. Label reads Sony TC-FX120. I ended up selling it, because i couldn't get it to work properly.
